Morton, R. W., et al., MP CERC~83-5 
Publication Date: December 1983 
Location: Milford and Fairfield Beaches, Conn. 
Period of Coverage: 1962-1971 
Contents: Beach profile line data collected as part of the Beach Evaluation 
Program were examined for sites located at Milford and Fairfield, Conn. A 
total of seven profile lines were examined using standard measurements such as 
mean sea level intercept, above mean sea level volume, and linear wave refrac- 
tion plots, as well as empirical eigenfunction analyses. All these methods 
showed erosion at all the lines at Milford, while Fairfield showed accretion 
at two out of the three lines. Profile data are included in appendices.
